Organizations

The American Association of University Women and the Modern Language Association are just a few of the prominent cultural associations that support education and literature. For those interested in literary organizations, the American Literature Association and the Italian American Writers Association provide ample opportunities for networking. Additionally, the PEN American Center and the Poetry Society of America are key players in the literary community, promoting writing and freedom of expression. Writer memberships can also be found through organizations like the Ralph Waldo Emerson Society and the Salmagundi Club, connecting passionate writers with like-minded individuals.

T. S. Eliot Society (Past President) is a notable contributor to the realm of literary organizations. From 1972 to 1984, I was involved with the Brooklyn Arts and Culture Association, enhancing cultural associations within the community. I served as the Director for Italian Heritage & Culture Month from 1986 to 1992, promoting cultural awareness. My participation in the American Literary Translators Association from 1988 to 1993 reflects my commitment to the literary arts. Additionally, I was part of the C.U.N.Y Presidential Advisory Committee on Italian-American Affairs from 1988 to 1994, supporting crucial initiatives related to cultural associations. My tenure at Poets House from 1996 to 2002 further exemplified my dedication to fostering an appreciation for poetry and other literary organizations. Lastly, my role as Past President of Pen and Brush Inc from 1980 to 2002 enriched my writer memberships and contributed significantly to the arts community.
